Hi Guys,
This might be a really silly question, but I've searched the forum and my phone's menu, and I can't see a way of making the camera default to saving pictures on my memory card rather than internal memory.
The camera options only seem to be able flash, focussing, and object you're shooting.
I'm figuring there must be a way. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Its in the settings. You can change it to either Internal or Card.
In the Camera, press the Spanner, then the down arrow (was where the spanner was), then the Camera/Film icon (top left), change Save To to Card
Took me a while to spot it.
Ah, brilliant. Thanks guys. I assumed that arrow took you out of the camera menu. Never even tried it (stupid me). Thanks a lot.

Anyone figure out how to save pics taken with the camera to the sd card instead of internal memory? I cant seem to figure it out. Usually there is an option for it but I dont see it on my X1
In the camera app press the spanner in the bottom right, then the down arrow in the bottom right, then the camera/film icon in the top left, then tap on "Save To" and change to "Memory Card"
Thank you, I dont know I'd miss that.
Hi all,
I have a small question: I have found that i totaly never use my front camera, (the rear one neither -lack of good quality- but thats another story ey) does anybody really use it. And if so, how?
To use front camera, go to
camera (by default back camera will get turned on ) > click anywhere on the screen (except on the button to shoot fotos ) > now you will see new icon on bottom left side of screen in portrait mode (above call button) click on that icon > it will expand camera menu > now go to 'menu' ( by clicking the 'gear' wheel icon in camera menu bar > this will open 6 menu window > here you can select resolution of your both cameras and adjust brightness, white balance etc. > in that click on 'camera' button ( bottom left icon ) > Viola....front cam on. ( its actually toggle switch between front and rear camera )
Hope this answers your query.
it's to make video calls usually with VoIP or 3g. But could also use it as a make-up mirror i suppose or to see if you have ketchup in your mustache as the case may be.
What a beautiful step by step guide to activate the front cam, though i did know how to get there. But thanks just the same. Its just that I havnt found any good use for it ( the ketchup in my beard is cleaned up now, txs) . As for video calls, does anybody use it. And if so, with what software ect...
I guess to use video calls you need to have 3G connection. No other software is needed. I'm not sure though......and for VoIP i have no idea
I was going to make a small app to quickly bring up the front cam to use as a mirror as that's probably the only use I can think for it.
I have taken a few photos with it though, it's not all that bad.
from the htc dialer or yota dialer.. bottom left button looks like a webcam.. thats video call
Does no one read? The question isn't how do you access the front camera, it's if anyone knows of any good use for it due to its quality and the presence of a better camera on the back.
Hiya,
Just a though, wouldn't this be great to use as a webcam in the application skype?
The main challenge would possibly be for the app to recognise the camera.
Iv'e tried this but to no avail.
Anyone had any luck with this?
I know I posted the question, thought a search would be preferred.

On skype website (more precisely on the helping forum) they explained that it was probably impossible to use the video calling on pda phone, because of some problems of data compression (the video is compressed before it is send, and pda processors aren't fast enough to do it), and they wouldn't change everything in their software, to make it compatible between PC and pda worlds.
For now at least...
Sorry about that, it would be a nice feature with our Hermes.

However this was from an old thread, would this still apply or could there be a miracle cure out there? Could be wishful thinking, but definitely a good use for it.
Well Octro.com proved them wrong, check out the Octrotalk with videocall.
Front camera is still not working though.
I have a similar problem....
i go to camera, i click the icon to switch from back to front camera..... IMAGE IS BLACK even if i take a picture it's black.
i have also tried a video call.... image is black.
i'am on rom Dutty's 3.3 and i have also tried dutty's 2.4. same problem.
any suggestion to check if my front camera is broken ?
Hi guys. I've been trying to search for this problems i've encountered on my X2 and i simply can't find any answers for it.
I have few minor problems which i want to ask.
1. My device keeps on charging even if the led image says that it's already 100%. I only assumed it is still charging because it is well written on its Status right above the led image.
Is this normal, and is there a way to fix this if ever? I'm worried that my battery gets overcharged if i wont to anything about this.
2. Sometimes my camera button fails to work. It happened several times now that when i try to activate the camera using its button on the right side the camera doesn't appear right away. Another thing, sometimes when i'm trying to take pictures and i pressed the camera button, the camera will just pause for a while and then green square boxes will appear on the screen. No image will be taken. Is that normal? or my camera is having problems?
3. I also noticed that the contacts are filtered by to view all contents (sim and device contacts) by default. I set mine to filter it to be able to just view the device contacts but whenever i open the contacts it reverts back to its default filtering which is "All Contacts". It is very useful at least for me to use the device as the contact's handler because my sim has limited memory and is divided into 2 parts. The first part is the one that appears and the other one can only be viewed if you disable the first part and make the 2nd part available by using the sim services embedded with it. So what i did was i copied all the 1st part and the 2nd part sim contents to my device and i was planning to hide them and use the phone's memory as the handler for contacts.
It was then that i realized the filtering problem. RIght now all copied contacts from my sim appears as well as the other part of the sim which is enabled. Which makes a lot of duplicated contacts (one from the device and one from the sim).
Is there away to make the phone permanently filtered in the device contacts?
4. I saw some of you guys teaching some members here to edit the phone's registry. Can i request for a 3rd party software to do that. Or can i just go directly to the mobile's registry and edit one of it (I don't know to do that by the way :-I )
5. Lastly, is there any way to activate the screen in order for me to unlock it? when the phone is locked and in stand by mode i can't seem to find any buttons to activate it. I am unable unlock the phone because the slide unlock button is not appearing.
What i'm doing to activate the slide unlock button is to press the power button or to slide the qwerty keyboard. I was hoping there are other ways to do it though just like on old phone wherein you can press the menu button and the asterisk key .
One last thing to end my post, please give me a Total Commander link too.
All replies would be very much appreciated sir/ma'am
To the moderators, please lock this thread if ever i violated rules. I just can't seem to locate any answers for my queries that's why i decided to created a thread with all my questions in it.

Hmmmmm, regarding my query on the contacts filtering, i'm sure there is a registry tweak to for that. I was trying to look for it last night but i wasn't able to locate it.
Perhaps there are geniuses here that can do that for us.
Registry Editing to make the contacts filtered on "device contacts" by default. The default by the way is filtered as "All Contacts"
1. Where do I find Cell Broadcasting? I didnt find it on my gingerblur settings. I need to disable it because it getting me problems with SMS.
2. I have the stock camera app and camera360. On stock, it appears to have photos on widescreen, but on camera 360, it not. There is any way to set this?
3. The "Locate My Phone" on Motoblur website doesnt work anymore, there is anyway to make it works on gingerblur? I dont want to restore all motorola bloatware.
2. In Normal mode (at least) you can press the gear icon at the top right and then the icon that has the word SIZE. In either drop down (you want Other Mode) there is a widescreen choice, but as you can see all you're doing is losing pixels by cropping the image to be widescreen. Why do you need that? If you really want you can crop it later on. The stock app crops as well btw.
Sorry for long time. I'm talking about before you take the shot, the image is displayed on a square box on center of your screen, and stock app display the image on all of your screen.
Also, i still with problem of Cell Broadcasting.
for me its under wireless & networks settings

See the little arrow on the right hand side of the screen in stock camera? Pull that across and set it to 5megapixels, its currently set for widescreen.
Thanks... now i see, but i didn't like it >_>
@y2whisper
Yes, Motorola Support says that for me too, but i think because i use GingerBlur or something it doesn't appears... So i'm trying to find any other way to edit it, via SQL or build.prop but i didn't found where this setting is placed.
@EDIT
I found a way to edit cell broadcast.
1. You should have root explorer and SQLite
2. Goto to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
3. Open settings.db
4. goto SECURE
5. edit "cdma_cell_broadcast_sms" to 0.
6. Save
7. Reboot.
I dont know if it will stop my duplicating sms, but i tested here and didn't bricked the phone
Now i need a reply to my question 3.
Hi all,
I was taking images of some documents using my OP8P and I seen a little icon in the bottom left corner pop up depicting a document.
Does anyone know what the functionality of this button is? It could be turned off or on.
I took images with it on and off and get were pretty much indistinguishable. I initially thought that button enabled would automatically crop the document to look like a scanned image.
I'd love an answer here too! Thanks
Good question, I have no idea...

Theres a similar feature on the Huawei p20 Pro, it's simply the camera trying to be a smarty pants AFAIK.
It's sort of a scanner feature.
Eg: you point your camera at a dog and the camera adjusts for definition and dynamic range.
If it's a document it'll speed up the shutter speed and lower the dynamic range to get a clear image..
It usually crops or allows cropping on the Huawei, haven't used it on the Pro but it's most likely that as I've not seen a document camera mode.
Just a guess but it would make sense
